Preparation method

Grill the aubergines on the barbecue until the skin is burn on the outside.Grill until soft, for about 5 minutes on each side. If you do not have a grill, you can roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, but this will not give it the charred smokey flavour you want. Once the aubergine is cooled, begin to peel the skin and scrape out the insides, adding it to a bowl. Add salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon juice.

Mix well and pour into a food processor or blender. Add the silken tofu and olive oil. Blend for a few minutes until the paté becomes creamy and smooth. Sprinkle paprika and serve with crackers, bread sticks, or carrot sticks.
